I also caught the 09 shows at the Izod center and I swear all I remember was the opening number which was U.S.BLUES and then it became as someone said ther's a show going on. Nothing to memerable here but I could do w/o a sax player and I thought Warren Haynes fit and can play w/ any one. One thing that did stike me as kinda odd was that the place wasn't even a close to a sell out and they had whole sections of seats black tarped and the atmosphere on stage was also very very dark w/ some notion of a Star Trek outer space scene done in dark purple.The drums were extremly well miked and thounderous but as a nostolgic show I'd rather go see Tuna any day.
